With Windows 7 you can create keyboard shortcuts for any program. This can be a convenient option if there is a program you frequently use but don't want to navigate to the Start Menu every time you want to run it.
Here's how you can create a keyboard shortcut for any program in Windows 7:
1. Right click the program icon and select Properties
2. Select the Shortcut tab
3. Put your cursor in the Shortcut Key area and press the keys you want to use for the keyboard shortcut
It's really easy to do and it can make Windows 7 more convenient for you!
